The AD8342 is a high performance, broadband active mixer. It is well suited for demanding receive-channel applications that require wide bandwidth on all ports and very low intermodulation.
The AD8342 active receive mixer from Analog Devices provides broadband RF, LO, and IF ports with a typical conversion gain of 3.7 dB and a low noise figure of 12.2 dB. It operates from a single 5 V supply and includes an integrated LO driver that requires only 0 dBm drive level, reducing external component count.
The device is offered in a 16‑lead LFCSP package, supports operation from –40 °C to +85 °C, and includes an evaluation board. Detailed specifications, pin descriptions, and performance curves are provided for design integration.
